    The average SK citizen doesn’t really hate the Japanese, they just want their damn artifacts back. After all, it’s difficult to say the largest instantaneous loss of life in human history wasn’t punishment enough.

      I think you’d be surprised, we’ve been hating the Japanese since the 1600s.

      After all, it’s difficult to say the largest instantaneous loss of life in human history wasn’t punishment enough.

      Up to 30k Koreans being used as slave labour were killed in the atomic blast… We don’t typically see that as squaring everything away, especially considering the modern Japanese government is made up of the children of war criminals who continue denying their parents many crimes against humanity.
